Youngblood // Luke Hemmings (Smart Sequel)

Chapter 13 // Hangover

Dani's POV

Luke and I have been texting each other every day. We've also hung out like twice more since the last time and both times we've had sex. It's now New Years Eve and Violet has convinced me to go out with her and Ashton. Violet's idea was to party hop, since she got invited to multiple ones. "I know Michael's throwing a party tonight. Should we go there first?" Violet asked. 

"Ummm.. I don't know about that." Ashton said. 

 "Why not?" Violet asked. 

"Michael told me that Dani couldn't come..." He almost muttered. 

"What?" Violet and I said at the same time. 

"Are you kidding me?" I asked. 

"No.." He said, looking guilty. 

"Why did he say that?" I asked. I started thinking. Luke and I are on good terms, maybe even great terms. Why would Michael not want me to go to the party? 

"Apparently he invited some girl from your university and you guys aren't good terms?" 

"Wait, wait, wait, wait. Michael thinks that Dani is going to start a fight?" Violet asked, in disbelief. 

"Yeah and apparently Luke said not to invite you because he doesn't want you to cause a scene." Ashton looked at me apologetically. 

"Luke said that?" Ashton nodded. "Why? We're on speaking terms..." I was so confused. 

"This is ridiculous." Violet took out her phone and called Luke, I suppose.  After a minute, he didn't answer, causing her to hang up violently. "Motherfucker." She muttered under her breath. Her thumbs moved quickly against her screen. I felt a vibration on my lap and looked down. 

Ganggg!!

From: Violet 

Yo Luke fuck you 

Happy New Year asshole

"Violet! Why would you say that?" I exclaimed. 

"What? He's an asshole for excluding one of his good friends. I don't care if you guys dated or whatever, you guys are still friends." She argued. Before I could say anything, our phones chimed again. 

Ganggg!!

From: Luke 

I'm not going either you guys go

I didn't tell him to do that

Then Ashton's phone chimed again. He looked down at his phone and then looked back up at me. "Michael said that you still can't come Dani.. I'm sorry." 

"Whatever. We'll just go to the other party." 

"Well I was hoping we would go to Michael's..." Ashton whispered. 

"You wanna go to Michael's? You can go." I told him. 

"Are you sure?" He asked. 

"Yes. Go. Have fun." I said. 

"I'm sorry Dani. Let's go baby." He took Violet's hand. 

"Wait both of you are going?" I didn't think both of them would leave me. 

"Yeah..." Ashton said. 

"Violet?" I turned to her. 

"Sorry, D.. Maybe next time?" She shrugged. 

"Whatever." I got up, got my bag, and left the room. I heard them call out my name but I didn't turn around. I kept walking out until I was out of Ashton's house. I was heated. How can my best friends just ditch me to go to a party that I wasn't invited to? More like a party I was banned from. Did Luke really not say that? Or was he trying to get back together with Noura Lee. My head was filled with so many questions and thoughts. I couldn't take it. On my walk home, I decided to pick up a bottle of wine and a small bottle of vodka. I took some swigs of the wine while I was walking. I finally got home, thankful that my mom and Sammy were out. I turned on the tv to the  channel where they had the countdown on. It was early still. It was only 21:30.
